I've been playing chess consistently since 2018. I fell in love with the bishop opening when I saw your video and since then it's the only opening I'm using (with urusov and nakhmanson gambit), the positions it creates are always so interesting!

I'm a beginner, but I've been playing bishop's opening since I saw your first video. The knight to c6 move has always given the most trouble, and I felt like there was nothing "cool" I could do with it, so just move my knight out behind the bishop. This gives me a lot more ideas, and I can't wait to play them.
Hello! Is there any such thing as a practice opening engine calculator? There are times that I’d like to practice lines such as this, but by the time someone takes the bait I usually forget about the lines.
My feels say Qg7+, king has to go to e6 or e8, rook e2+. If e6 it's a smothered mate after knight f6, if it moves forward you can just keep attacking with even the dark bishop and keep all tension.
Thanks for this GM Smirnov. After a good deal of initial research and experimenting with the bots, the Bishop's opening seems the most promising. I might be misplaying the London, but that gets mixed results for me. Bishop's seems to yield a better transition to the Middlegame, a quick castle if necessary and some attacking possibiilities. So far it is my #1 candidate for tournament play until I can get my head around the KIA or Fischer-Sozin. Looking forward to taking your courses.
At last! I get to play the King's Gambit while avoiding the lines I don't like! Playing it for years just for fun, but might try this Delayed King's Gambit/Vienna Game/Whatever It's Called in an upcoming tournament.
I really like your videos. It is amazing how many traps there is. Thanks to you I just happened to crush a 2006 rated player. He just sat there and wondered what on earth was happening and when he reallized it, then it was to late. . If I could I would have put that game on the wall.
I do think about all this information you give which is very useful of course in actual games opponents don’t always make the moves you expect but I hope I learn something from your strategies to make my game better Thanks Igor

Enjoy your vids. Some of these attacking bishop opening vids are so good that I kind of want to see vids simply based on defending against them. That is, I'd like to know the smartest ways to not be beaten by someone who uses these ideas against me. Anyway, thanks.
Indeed, since my first video about the Bishop's opening got almost 2 million views, you can expect to face it more often now. It's smart to get yourself ready.
Thanks, but why should black 2. ... Nc6 , when the natural and most obvious reply is 2. ... Nf6, and after the thematic 3.f4, black can now do the natural 3. ... d5 and is better in every line, white's opening already refuted. The transposition into King's gambit is an interesting idea, however good for white only against an unprepared black.
I'm trying to learn this, and sometimes it works well and sometimes a disaster. knight to c6 is definitely my least favorite response to the bishop's opening.
Qxg7+ Ke8 and ph7 drops off. Afterwards h6 and the Rook is nearly lost, can hardly be defended, and there is a threat of Re1+. For example: Qxf7+ Ke8 Rexf6 Rxf6 Bg5 and Ra1 is free for entering the fight and the Rf6 drops off, too
d5, Qxg7+ (protected by pin and knight) if Ke8, Re1+ If Be5 block, or Be6, or Qe7 block kf6# or Rx# If Ke6, Re1+ IfKd6, Bf4# If block with knight kxf6 to protect the queen now that the bishop is unpinned and go on a king hunt if blocks with bishop kf4+ and king hunt
Bishop opening is fun however you should never continue with a king gambit as it only works against weak players, check with the Queen right away and then Queen back to D2 put white in trouble
Only problem I see is I think a lot of opponents would just love qa4 right after, king is in check, they capture pawn, and have nothing to give up on it
RUclips has both closed captions and a setting to literally slow down the video. I hope he doesn't adjust his natural style due to feedback like yours.

Great video once again from Igor. Move at 7.36 Qg7
You're welcome!

I'm glad the video came timely for you. Indeed, this line contains so many aggressive ideas. Best of luck!
Can you put the answer to your quiz at the end of the video description?
Bf6 is pinned. You can solve it!
Thank you so much GM Smirnov! You are so generous teaching/sharing you ideas how to learn & play Chess.
😀
Awesome video! This is DEFINITELY becoming part of my repertoire!
@John Stuart Mill Even if I don't get the same positions I'm getting ideas and transpositional possibilities.
Have fun!
Hello! Is there any such thing as a practice opening engine calculator? There are times that I’d like to practice lines such as this, but by the time someone takes the bait I usually forget about the lines.
7:33 Qxg7 as B is pinned coz of the R?
My feels say Qg7+, king has to go to e6 or e8, rook e2+.
If e6 it's a smothered mate after knight f6, if it moves forward you can just keep attacking with even the dark bishop and keep all tension.
You make it look so simple, Igor!
I wish I was able to play this effortlessly and successfully!
Diabolical tactic moves and different as standard moves...great as always and very instructional 👏👌👌👌
Thank you 🙌

I'm really glad to know it was helpful!
Qxg7, if Ke8 Nxf6, Black forced to sacks the queen and lose; if Ke6 Rxf6, Black forced to sacks the queen and lose again
Excellent vedio Sir,Thank you so much
Excelente!!! Muy buen video con la apertura de Alfil
At last! I get to play the King's Gambit while avoiding the lines I don't like! Playing it for years just for fun, but might try this Delayed King's Gambit/Vienna Game/Whatever It's Called in an upcoming tournament.
Love all these tricky E4 lines

We can't learn every potential variation, but often times the ideas and plans are the same anyway.
WOW COACH THANK YOU FOR THIS! Can I call you coach from now on even if we do not personally know each other?

What id black plays Queen H4, after white P F4 ???
People usually play knight to f6 in the opening because they think you are going to play scholar's checkmate (its even more common in blitzs)
But What About e4 e5 , Bc4 C6? what is Attacking plan here ?
Amazing opening igor
🙏
Nice video
Aggressive opening! Only one mistake and you are doomed
What mistake I'm just starting and I like the opening but I stall in mid game
I really like this BUT: what if when he eat the pawn on F4, then play pawn D6 and bishop G4 to pin the knight attacking his queen?
Is that king's gambit variation
For me u r the goat

Awesome gambits
What if they don’t take the pawn 🙏 on the gambit part?
Trik Pembukaan catur bagus
please urosov gambit explain
I love these vignettes.
And then, you are simply winning! Lol, never seen me play then...
Thanks, but why should black 2. ... Nc6 , when the natural and most obvious reply is 2. ...

How to Play Against the Bishop's Opening as Black ruclips.net/video/w2e03LUeh6I/видео.html
If 2…Nf6 then not 3.f4 but 3.d3 (first). 🙂
I'm trying to learn this, and sometimes it works well and sometimes a disaster. knight to c6 is definitely my least favorite response to the bishop's opening.
Hummmm. Not sure many opponents would make these specific moves.
I play the bishop opening a lot with great success .. but this gambit idea looks nice to shock opponents .
That's cool!
Ironically, before I saw this video, I won a chessgame today with this very opening.
Excellent for under 1800
Play the Evan’s gambit for black… in defense. nasty!
bishop e7?
Qxg7+ Ke8 and ph7 drops off. Afterwards h6 and the Rook is nearly lost, can hardly be defended, and there is a threat of Re1+. For example: Qxf7+ Ke8 Rexf6 Rxf6 Bg5 and Ra1 is free for entering the fight and the Rf6 drops off, too
Please tell who white win
d5, Qxg7+ (protected by pin and knight)
if Ke8, Re1+ If Be5 block, or Be6, or Qe7 block kf6# or Rx#
If Ke6, Re1+
IfKd6, Bf4#
If block with knight kxf6 to protect the queen now that the bishop is unpinned and go on a king hunt if blocks with bishop kf4+ and king hunt
Bishop opening is fun however you should never continue with a king gambit as it only works against weak players, check with the Queen right away and then Queen back to D2 put white in trouble
I am still a noob and whenever I want to try these things I play against people who do the most random moves and I get confused haha
This is happening to me too 😄
Blacks 2nd move will be Nf6.
I think the answer is Qxg7+
Rxf6
At 606 there is a black pawn hanging on f4.
Or grab it with the Knight, I think that is better for White.
Nevermind, there it is at 734, yes!
I thought Qxg7 since the Bishop is pinned
For the puzzle, my 700 elo brain somewhat senses a r*f6+. If p*r6 then qg7+. But that's where my game ends 😁
👍🏻
i did not even know i played that😅😅
I resigned about 25 times trying to get someone to follow this line. Rating 800 to 1000 don't follow this line
Only problem I see is I think a lot of opponents would just love qa4 right after, king is in check, they capture pawn, and have nothing to give up on it
I saw the video & played & won 3 consecutive games as White !! Something really unnerves Black.
Indian 🇮🇳 can like here🙏
First
Dear Igor, for us -- non-native speakers -- you speak too fast and your accent does not help either.
It's funny, I am a non native speaker and find him very clear and easy to understand. :)
I am Asian, but i find his pace and accent is clear & perfect enough.
And 1 more thing, utube have caption & playback speed in the setting u noob.
RUclips has both closed captions and a setting to literally slow down the video.
I hope he doesn't adjust his natural style due to feedback like yours.
So learn the language
Not really, I understand him pretty easily, it should stay the way it is.
7:57 why take castle with queen? Just take castle with castle.
Because it's mate and queen has to protect
haha😊🙃🙂😁😇😂🤪🤪
😘😃😀
Oh Igor, thanks a lot again! As a Italian that was exactly was I was looking for! 😊👍♟
Glad I could help!
